Well, there's a Perl script here:

<http://w4.lns.cornell.edu/~pvhp/perl/vms/devel/make2mms.pl>

that will take the Makefile and give you a rough cut of a descrip.mms 
that you can use with MMS or MMK.  It's still a royal pain. Martin 
Vorlaender has further described the process here:

<http://www.pdv-systeme.de/users/martinv/VMS_Programming_FAQ.html#4.1.>

And you will probably have to also cook up a config.h.
